FAQ – Redken Color Fusion™ Extra Lift
Q1. What is Color Fusion Extra Lift and what does it do?
A: Color Fusion Extra Lift is a professional permanent hair-color cream designed to provide up to 5 levels of lift — ideal for clients asking for high-end blondes or lightening — while embedding pigment and delivering conditioned, healthy-looking hair.
Q2. What makes Extra Lift different from standard permanent color creams?
A: Extra Lift uses 100% oxidative dyes for lasting, stable color, and combines them with the brand’s “Uplift Color Bond Technology” to offer substantial lift while minimizing damage — giving lift + conditioning in one step.
Q3. Which services or clients are best suited for Extra Lift?
A: Extra Lift is ideal when a client wants to lighten their natural hair several levels (e.g., going blonde), or needs a lighter base for tone adjustments — especially when they prefer a permanent result rather than a temporary lightening. It works best on virgin or previously light hair with good integrity.
Q4. How should stylists mix and apply Extra Lift for optimal results?
A: Extra Lift should be mixed at a 1:2 ratio (color : developer — 20, 30, or 40 volume, depending on desired lift). Apply generously with fine, diagonal partings to ensure even saturation. Process 35–45 min; for some formulas, warm heat may be used up to 15 min then finish at room temp.
Q5. What results can clients expect in terms of color outcome, condition, and tone control?
A: Expect up to 5 levels of lift, clean neutralization (less unwanted warmth), multi-dimensional blonde or lightened results, good shine and manageability, and hair that feels conditioned and healthy rather than dry or over-processed.
Q6. Are Extra Lift shades intermixable with other lines/shades from the same brand?
A: No — Extra Lift shades are only intermixable with other Extra Lift shades. They are not recommended to be mixed with standard permanent shades from the line to ensure correct lift and tonality.
Q7. When should a stylist choose Extra Lift instead of a lightener or bleach kit?
A: Extra Lift is a good choice when you need moderate to strong lift (up to 5 levels) but want the benefits of permanent dye — pigment deposit + conditioning — in a single step, with more controlled results than bleach and often less damage risk when used properly.
